What makes the days shorter, the nights longer, and the air cooler? And
what heavenly bodies and celestial events can we observe for the
remainder of the year? In this free virtual (Zoom) event, we will
discuss the seasons, such special events as meteor showers and the
total lunar eclipse on November 7th - 8th, as well as planets that will be visible (especially Saturn and Jupiter). William will also provide an illustrated update on the James Webb
Space Telescope (JWST).

Hamptons Observatory Senior Educator, William Francis Taylor, has been a
NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador since 2014, lecturing about the
universe around us and sharing his love of the heavens by giving
guided tours of the sky through telescopes. He is a life-long East
End resident.

Hamptons Observatory would like to thank Friends of the Long Pond Greenbelt for its kind
collaboration, and William Francis Taylor for sharing his expertise.

Hamptons Observatory (HO), a 501(c)(3) NYS nonprofit that relies on public
support, has served the community since 2005. Its mission: to foster
interest in science, particularly astronomy, through educational
programs. Lectures, star parties, portable planetarium shows and
other events are held, often in collaboration with other nonprofit
organizations. HO has established the first astronomical observatory
on the South Fork (in East Hampton), complete with Long Island's
largest research-grade telescope; these facilities will soon be
accessible over the internet to students, teachers, researchers and
the general public. Hamptons Observatory offers all of its programs
free-of-charge so that everyone can learn about and enjoy the
universe around them. To join our email list for event notices,
